DDC-I introduces its SCORE integrated development environment

  Phoenix, AZ -- March 2000-- DDC-I introduces its SCORE (Safety Critical,
  Object-oriented, Real-time Embedded) integrated development environment 

  SCORE is a multi-language, multi-target, multi-host IDE for real-time
safety-critical
  embedded systems. It is based on nonproprietary open system standards. 

  The first part of the compiler is called the "producer," the second part
the "installer," with  ANDF (Architecture Neutral Distribution Format) as
the intermediate form regardless of   what language is compiled or which
processor the code is generated for. When a new processor is designed, an
installer and specific parts of a run-time system will be developed for the
target. Once the installer is generated, compilers exist for all
programming languages that have a producer in place. Any existing
applications in those languages can then be ported to the new chip. 

  SCORE uses a GUI based on Win32 and OSF/motif, while retaining a command
line interface option. The GUI also offers a single universal interface for
all compilers and tools. The multi-language debugger handles the debug
information such that no
additional target memory is required. The target microprocessors currently
supported are the Intel 80x86, Pentium, and PowerPC. 

  The SCORE Ada compilation systems have been certified to be compliant
with ACATS 2.2.
